TROUBLESHOOTING

CUT-OFF SAW WON’T REACH FULL RPM - Air filter or pre filter may be dirty.

SLOW DIAMOND CHAIN SPEED – Diamond chain tension too tight. Diamond chain should always be able to be pulled around the guide bar by hand. It is normal for the diamond chain drive links to hang below the guide bar.

POOR CUTTING SPEED - Diamonds may be “glazed over”. Make a few cuts in an abrasive material such as a cinder block to expose the diamonds.

CHAIN TENSIONER BREAKAGE - Side cover nuts are not tight enough. Torque to 20 ft-lbs (27Nm).

WATER NOT FLOWING - Water hose is kinked or supply is not turned on.

WON’T START – Turn ignition switch on or possible defective spark plug.

WON’T START – Low compression, less than 120 psi (8 bar). Possible incorrect fuel mixture.

Reference:

new = 150 to 180 psi (10 to 12 bar)

 

used = 140 to 160 psi (9 to 11 bar)

DIFFICULT TO START – Possible flooded engine. Turn ignition switch on, push choke in, hold throttle on full with foot and pull starter cord until engine starts.

DIFFICULT TO START – Possible fouled spark plug. Remove spark plug, clean with wire brush and re-gap.
